The way that the Lakers were able to beat Denver in the bubble was to have three bigs that they used to pound on him. However that works in the playoffs for Denver, but you need other formulas for a team like Golden State. And you need a certain roster to win in the regular season and get a high seed. Roster building is not easy because it has to be able to meet multiple different teams and two completely separate seasons.
You can tell Molly and Stephen A use to date on the low and it didnโt work out right ๐๐ฏ
Hoop Collective the only basketball pod that gets all the great guests
This clown downplaying a canadian winning the canadian open for the first time in 69 years. Hope he reads this comment
I love this trio, "howdy partners" and "adios amigos", bomtemps not so much ๐
Can't wait to see Watson having more minutes in the next season for Nuggets. Gillespie will probably be able to play too. Good times!
The great Nick Nurse, greetings from Sheffield, UK. Coach of the Sharks back in the day. Congratulations on all your well deserved success.
Iโm gonna miss Nick here in Toronto
These final pods have been outstanding, gentlemen…great guests along the way.
So glad to have nick in philly
As a Raps fan I have nothing but high praise for nn (Nick Nurse). I wish him and his family nothing but success, except when he plays our Raps. Good luck to him trying to get Embid and company to play at a higher pace….
Tim MacMahon always got the best questions man ๐๐๐๐
After tonight joker will have 2 MVPs one west conference finals MVP one finals MVP ๐๐๐๐๐
The HOOPS Collective pod cast is out-standing! Hats off to you guys!
What about Elgin Baylor and Jerry West? What was their combined scoring averages in the NBA Finals?
After denver wins the title I want a mea culpa from the two of you that slandered Jokic nonstop and helped the concerted effort to rob him of his third mvp. This year and run could have been even more historic if people followed the basketball arguments and didnโt argue and vote in bad faith arguments that had nothing to do with basketball. SMH.
NN loves the spotlight.. good luck Philly ๐คฃ
News for you Herro is back ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Mislabeled, this is the worst game 5 preview ever
Magnet ๐งฒ jokie is his name a force star
I think Joker could score 50 if he wanted to most any night, but the assists raise the intensity of the team throughout the he game.
good luck coach and good luck team Canada
BRO SWEAR TO GOD GO TO THE 16 MINUTE MARK AND START WATCHING. WINDY JUST PICKED HIS NOSE AND THEN ATE A BOOGER. ON THE SNEAK TIP. RIGHT AFTER NICK NURSE SOLO SHOT ๐๐คข๐คฎ
28:11 ๐งฒ๐ฏ๐คซ
Is shut up with your stupid comments at the end
22:00 Kyle lowery with the half court buzzer beater. This rivalry was created via Kyle and Jimmys friendship but it was real.
Brian and the Tims. Best hoops-analysis podcast.
Hey nick notice how they pass the ball and move
nicks right man the teams gotta play well too not just harden embiid they anit gonna be perfect every game in the playoffs other people have to step up.
As soon as he leaves Canada now he gets recognized ๐
Good coach. Excellent tactician. Not undeserving of occasional criticism during his time in Toronto. Wish him well in Philadelphia. Good luck with the Philadelphia sports media.
Nick Nurse fitting well in a great head coach fit in Philadelphia!
